What's Buzz-worthy: My rookie presence was way down here vs. last time but I did land a Caglianone to make it better than it perhaps could have been had I not found him. The star presence was stronger, too, but perhaps not as perfect as it could be but it definitely has highlights. The presence of the rare parallel gets this one a top mark on paper when it comes to the box grade and a couple more inserts than other ones I have opened helps, too. Overall, the edges are a but rougher here than they were in my previous boxes but overall this one did seem to still deliver well. ... The Diamante parallels are still the best of the foils -- better than even the 75th card -- and this is a respectable A-level box but it could still easily be topped. ... Chew on the checklist, cross-check the odds, scout the singles and figure out which format’s for you. There’s a lot of stuff packed into this one -- and a lot made -- but I do think it’s a solid release for its diamond anniversary.

Product Grade: A (improved over last year and printing/cutting quality seems stronger this year)
Box Grade: A+ (one rare card makes this one a statistical winner)
Fun Grade: A-
